T.M. Selection: Texas Southern/Kansas UNDER.

I am on the under in the Texas Southern vs Kansas game on Thursday. Texas Southern has looked very good on the defensive end of the court in their games lately. They have gone 4 games in a row without giving up 70+ points and I expect them to give a very good defensive effort in this game if they want to have any chance of shutting down Kansas here. Texas Southern has a strong offense when it comes to their conference but they don't play in a very strong conference so I don't think they will put up nearly as many points here as they do in those games. Kansas plays very well on the defensive end themselves and I think they will not give up a lot of points to Texas Southern in this game. Kansas does have a strong offense when they need to put up points but I don't think they will need to put up a ton of points in this game to win and they will probably jump out to a big lead early and cruise their way to a win here. I think Texas Southern will still offer a decent amount of resistance to their offense so I don't see Kansas putting up a ton of points here but I don't see Texas Southern keeping this game close either. I think they are going to get blown out in this game and their offense is probably going to struggle against the defensive effort Kansas puts out in this game. Kansas won't need to put up a lot of points to win here and I don't see Texas Southern getting enough to really challenge this total or Kansas for the win. I like the under in this game.

T.M. Prediction: 76-52 Kansas.
